Waste of time
Most of the book presents nothing new, in pointing out the deep and systemic flaws of modern medicine and Big Pharma, and the health risks of processed food and sugar. The remainder of the book is devoted to bashing, belittling, criticizing, and doubting the various well credentialed experts who have advocated plant-based diets--without offering a truly credible alternative. For those who look for actual solutions and recommendations for preventing chronic diseases, the author offers only a well-trod mantra: eat Real Food. But we already knew that. I waited in vain for the author to present an actual, detailed plan for eating healthy, beyond repeating the bare phrase "eat Real Food." I returned the book for a refund because I was offended by so much hubris and so little merit.
